Rainy deluge Wetness clouds; Moody day ~~~~~~~~~ Sitting still Thoughts subside; Just being ~~~~~~~~~ Stray stopover Fluffy white snow; Harsh elements ~~~~~~~~~ Death configures Body at rest; Time cut short ~~~~~~~~~ Snowy cascade Fluffy feel; Freezing here ~~~~~~~~~ Old-timers Strolling hand-in-hand; Lifetime of love ~~~~~~~~~ Brisk snowfall Wild swirls here; White splashes ~~~~~~~~~ Wet departure Goodbye kiss; Sad glimpses ~~~~~~~~~ Cold winds blow Misty wild; Wintry beauty ~~~~~~~~~ Old hands clutch Strolling together; Fond memories ~~~~~~~~~~ Howling wind Facial caress; Abrupt moment ~~~~~~~~~ Wind howling Passing my way; Stillness loiters ~~~~~~~~~~ Angry hands White walls echo; Primal angst ~~~~~~~~~ Workday jigsaw Frustration swells; Angry climax ~~~~~~~~~ Hand-in-hand Evening interlude; Bliss sublime ~~~~~~~~~ Steep ascent Happy surprise; Wonder awaits ~~~~~~~~~~ Chinese tea Yunnan glimpses; Eight years since ~~~~~~~~~ Fragrant bite Chocolate ganache cake; Ecstasy sums ~~~~~~~~~ Silent stillness Quiet contemplation; Devotional ~~~~~~~~~ Joy wears well Facial contours; Happy eyes light ~~~~~~~~~ My darling sleeps Speaks softly; Pillow caress ~~~~~~~~~ Moments brief Crystalline tears; Grief saturates ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 25 April 2017 Singapore
